The chair swerved to the side, a grunt emanating from Dawson's lips as he stood up, slamming the chair against the wall. “ What do you mean?’’ his voice rose in octaves as he demanded to know. Eyes boring into the man's head who kept trembling. “ The doctor is here, he said he isn't sure that he can do it, that he wouldn't attest to the fact that….” Dawson was out before the rest of the words could drop, his steps as fast as lightning as he motioned toward the door. The red one that held all the machines that he had gotten at the last minute. “ What did you say, Doctor Simeon?” Dawson held the iron swaying it in the air as he listened. Dr. Simeon, seeing him, moved back, his breath almost gasping when Dawson held his neck, pulling him along with him. His hands pushed the door open, the people strapped to the chair came to vision. “ Mr. Dawson” Doctor Simeon couldn't help but gasp. “ How…how…” his words came out in stutters as he tried to find the right word. Strapped to the c
Hello readers, Daphne is back but as Talia, and she has one aim in mind. That is to make Lorenzo pay for hurting her father. She has amnesia and doesn't recall him but that rage in her keeps her burning. What they have is a love hate relationship but would it last? When Lorenzo has imprinted himself in her? Daphne's POV The fumes of cars engine drifted into my nose while I took in a sharp glance, my heart accelerating before placing the ringing phone against my ears. “ Oh father” My hands curled around my fendi bag“ I just touched down, and you shouldn't have” I said to him. Call him the worry wart, but my father was every inch of that. How could he think that I would still be harmed? I knew Lorenzo had plotted to kill me before, making me end up down the bridge, but I was powerful now. I could jab a knife into him if he tried anything funny. My head swirled when I thought about his photo again. Father had made sure that I gazed at it until every single detail imprinted themse
Lorenzo's POV My throat parched, eyes stung as I walked down the air stairs, tiny strings of tears lingered at the edge of my eyes, ones that I flung off. The humid air swept over my face, jolting all of my senses as I took a gaze around. “Boss” Tristan stood by the side. His eyes held appreciation, that told me he was glad to see me.My hands squeezed his shoulders, gratitude dancing in my eyes for holding the fort for me while I was away. It had been five years since Daphne happened and when I thought I was going to be fine, I had only drank myself to stupor until I couldn't anymore. Until the distance form far away took shape. I had blossomed while away, built a huge business empire, far away from Drago’s, and I was here for just something. A new rival had crept up and was taking all of our deals. Call it wit or brain, I didn't know what exactly she was using, but I was here to find out. I might have been gone, but I was still the beast, the one who was dreaded by all. “How
Lorenzo's POVMy breath caught, cheek burned as my hands caressed her face. Dimples of gratitude on my cheek as I cupped her face, wanting to thank her for coming back to me when she tsked and I dropped. All the hysterical moments I had felt for a while drizzled into thin air as she burst out into laughter and that was when I saw them. Tattoos painted over her skin. Her legs dropped over each other, her latex trouser clung to her curves as she swirled around in my desk, standing upright. ‘’I was told I looked just like your dead fiancée” her tone mocked as lilies lingered in the air. My throat parched as I listened, wanting to hear what else she was going to say. “It is a pity that you can't act right, are you this way? Around everyone you see? Who looked like her?”Her tone was coated with mockery as she questioned me, and I couldn't help but drink in her features. She had Daphne's face aside from the clip on her lips and her purple hair, she looked every inch like her, the tatto
Lorenzo's POV “ Dawson!” I screamed as I sauntered down the vast hall, trying to push the security details that protected him off me. “ Sir, you need to schedule an appointment first before you see the governor. You can't just barge in here” I threw a decent punch at the man holding me, sending him flying over to the edge before throwing a door open only to meet an empty one. I gave a wave at Jaden who stood far away, his nanny walking with him on what would look like one of his daily walks. “ Keep him at bay, I have scores to settle with his father.” My face scrunched further into a scowl as I flung another door open and there he was. A bitch on his lap and she was grinding the asshole dick. Such arrant nonsense and disrespect to my sister. “ Lorenzo” he was surely stunned to see me. The shocked look on his face told me so. “Well, well, well, what do we have here? Your excellency”. The girl's face took an angered one, clearly not happy that her time had been interrupted. I s
Daphne's POV The gate squeaked when the AMG drove in, that familiar ache fluttered in my stomach when I placed a foot down, my heart racing when I saw my father, a smile highlighted at the edge of his lips, one that widened into a tiny laugh as I approached him. Hands were thrown over me as laughter echoed through the air, with me diving into his arms. “ Father” I squeezed my eyes tight, savoring his embrace as I had always done. It seemed like forever since I did this. His hands ran through my hair, caressing it gently before he pulled me away to take a proper glance at me. “ You don't look bad. You don't feel jet lag, do you?” I shook my head, giving him an answer as the trolley was pushed past, it contained my bags and buses. “So tell me…” he implored as we turned to walk. “You met him, what was he like?” My heart raced, and I stopped in track, pushing a smile up my face. “Everything you said. Cunning and I can't really place my hand on it …” I tried to find the right word
Lorenzo’s POVPropping myself up by an arm, I glanced at the figure strapped to the chair, still unconscious or so she seemed. As a last resort, I had brought her to the penthouse, the very one I would rather not be in. I had thought about how she wasn't fit to be in the warehouse, going back to the mansion was a no because the kids would see, so I had brought her over. Hopefully, a part of me hoped still that she was Daphne, even when everything told me she wasn't. Her tattoos, her purple hair and even her eyes told me that she wasn't the one, but I think I was hoping for too much. A sneer echoed across the empty hall, still draped with white clothes as she fluttered her eyes open, boring them at me. A part of me hitched when her eyes gazed around confused, not a flinch telling me she recalled anything. “How. Dare. You?” She roared. “ Do what?” I pushed myself up, squatting beside her. The ropes bound around her gave me an image that I didn't want to keep. It wouldn't be great
Daphne's POV I tried to dab off the trickles of tears that had run down my cheek while wondering what exactly it was. Why did I feel plunged by this overwhelming sadness when I flipped my head around? Why do I feel my heart being torn apart when Lorenzo had wrapped his hands around my throat? Was I hurt by that? Or could it be….my eyes drifted to the windows, which were tightly shut, dissuading my assumption that it might be the reason? If I wasn't feeling this way because a speck of dust might have flung into my eyes or the windy air had rushed in, then what could be the source of this? I tried to get an answer, but it just wouldn't cluster together. Running a quick glance around, I noticed how Lorenzo wasn't here before the hair in my back rose when crashing noises came in. I couldn't stay plunged in thought, I had to leave. I couldn't stay strapped to the chair when I had to be somewhere else. Pushing my finger down, I heaved in relief when I grazed the edge of my knife, whil
